26 BENCH TOR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26 BENCH TOR CLOSE sales between March 1999 and November 2024 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 2006 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
